Eiffel Tower

What to expect

Book a timed ticket for the summit.

Distance from port

1 km

Approximate straight-line distance from the mapped Port de Grenelle reference point to the Eiffel Tower. Not a road or walking distance. Paris river berths vary; check your cruise boarding documents and allow for the actual route.

Cost

Moderate

Adult admission: EUR 23.50 to the second floor by lift or EUR 36.70 to the summit by lifts. Second-floor stairs EUR 14.80; stairs plus summit lift EUR 28. Optional dining/tours cost extra.

Tourist-trap risk

Mixed

Editorial assessment: An iconic paid viewpoint; official basic tickets avoid optional meal, champagne and guided-tour markups.

Physical effort

Moderate

Lift tickets still involve queues and moving around viewing floors. Stair tickets are substantially more demanding. Follow security rules and weather closures, and keep valuables secure in crowds.

Accessibility

Partly accessible

Wheelchair users and visitors with reduced mobility can reach floors 1 and 2 by lift. The summit is inaccessible to wheelchair users and people using crutches for evacuation reasons; choose the correct ticket.

Distance is approximate and measured from the cruise port, not the airport. Cost and tourist-trap risk are editorial assessments. Accessibility depends on the route, transport and facilities described in the notes. Not assessed means details have not yet been verified.
